Neocatechumenal, here is the new Statutes integrated in the final drafting of the rules on the Liturgy: Communion standing, but in its place, for neocatechumens. The celebration, open to all, included in the normal liturgical parish. Kiko: "Soon the publication of catechesis"
ROME - Final Approval of the Statutes and official recognition of the Neocatechumenal as a "method of Catholic formation," with the normal liturgical celebrations included the parishes and integration in the text of the Statutes of the rules on liturgy, from the Communion, which henceforth will be received by the faithful of the various communities no longer sitting, but standing, though in place and no procession to the altar. It 's a historic day that the June 13, 2008 for the Neocatechumenal: the Holy See through the Pontifical Council for the Laity, delivery to the initiators Kiko Arguello and Carmen Hernandez, the final version of the Statutes and after five years of trials and eleven months and means of further analysis, that gives formal recognition that the Way was waiting for forty years. A fundamental step that will be supported in the near future - said Kiko - the publication of the two initiators of the integral catechesis, quelle contenute nel volume sugli “Orientamenti alle equipes di catechisti” e che “hanno ottenuto già da tempo il nulla osta della Congregazione per la Dottrina della fede”.
IL RICONOSCIMENTO – Non un movimento ecclesiale né un’associazione di persone: la Santa Sede riconosce il Cammino neocatecumenale come un “itinerario di formazione cattolica”, cioè un programma di formazione alla vita cristiana impartito in comunità e condotto secondo ritmi e metodi specifici, tanto dal punto di vista catechetico che da quello liturgico. E’ tale itinerario che, nella nuova formulazione degli Statuti, riceve “personalità giuridica pubblica”. Il Cammino – prescrive Article 1 of the approved document - "is at the service of the bishop as a form of diocesan implementation of Christian initiation and continuing education in the faith" (Article 1 of the Statutes), so it is under the jurisdiction and direction of the holder diocesan parishes and is implemented with the assistance and guidance of the team responsible for the path (art. 2) and in coordination with the parish. Do nothing without the bishop, then, a close relationship with the pastors, priests and exploitation of careful selection and training of catechists .
THE LITURGY: WHAT CHANGES - not a separate thing, but una delle varie espressioni della pastorale liturgica delle parrocchie: le celebrazioni dell’Eucaristia delle comunità neocatecumenali – che rimangono fissate al sabato sera - “fanno parte della pastorale liturgica domenicale della parrocchia e sono aperte anche ad altri fedeli” (art. 13). E’ per questo, dice Kiko in conferenza stampa, che risulta superato quanto previsto dalla lettera della Congregazione per il Culto divino riguardo alla partecipazione dei membri delle comunità alla messa domenicale in parrocchia almeno una volta al mese: ora sono le stesse celebrazioni neocatecumenali a far parte della pastorale parrocchiale, e i neocatecumeni dunque non avranno più l’obbligo di “saltare” un sabato every thirty days. The celebrations take place Neocatechumenals accordance with the bishop and follow the liturgical books approved by the Roman Rite, except - requires new text of the Statutes - "concessions to express the Holy See." The reference is - at present - the warnings before the readings, the resonances of the faithful before the homily, the exchange of peace after the homily. Two lines lay down that kind of compromise then in terms of distribution of the Eucharist: the faithful will not seated but standing, as requested by the Congregation for Divine Worship, but it remained in place, and failing in procession to the 'altar as required by the liturgical books: "With regard - according to the third paragraph of art. 13 - the distribution of Holy Communion under both species, the neocatechumens receive it standing, remaining in their places. "
the future - and 'final approval for the Neocatechumenal, which remains a tool available to the diocesan bishop and will therefore continue to be present only in the dioceses and parishes that want to take him or explicitly require it. Also from a formal point of view now is highlighted participation of the Way, and in particular of the Eucharistic celebrations on Saturday, parish life: the journey is, of course, for each individual parish priests and bishops, not an obligation but a possibility, a tool, a training course to be used (or not) for the evangelization of Christian initiation: those who chose it now the formal assurance by the Holy See's adherence to the teachings of the Church of the Way.
About doctrinal adherence, in addition to the Statutes of the Way will also implement the Catechesis of Kiko and Carmen, those contained in the book - Guidelines for teams of catechists "- explicitly mentioned in the document approved by the Pontifical Council for the Laity. A text, according to the initiator of the Way, will be published within a reasonable time: cleared by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith came in 2003 (after an intense work-ups) and now, after coming to the end the path to final approval of the statutes - will be made available to all. It remains essential in the practical realization of the Way, the role of catechist: the statutes require that they are qualified people, "chosen from among those who give guarantees of life of faith and morals" and "properly trained".
